"s h a d o w s , b i r d s ,"

"s h a d o w s , b i r d s ,"

s h a d o w s ,  b i r d s,

     wake up

  birch trees
 in the wind's web

       before what minutes, exposition
               of mankind

              stony light turned

                    how much
                          the number

               the vague soon again

                  what change in the parts

       before what minutes, exposition
               of mankind

              stony light turned

                    how much

               the vague soon again

                  what change in the parts
